Gina P [2021] - Charade [Self Released]

Released yesterday (22 Sep 2021) is a single by Toronto's Gina P, "Charade", which was played a couple of weeks ago (11 Sep) as a breaker on the Global Soul chart show by Franklin Sinclair prior to release.

She released a single in July called "Magic" which I think did quite well on Starpoint UK Soul Chart. I'm not sure that this one will do quite as well, but who knows?

Nia Sultana [2021] - Ambience [Interscope Records]

The third single release from Brooklyn's (NYC) Nia Sultana. Her previous singles are in a similar mould "Positions" (2018) and "Coconut Water" (2019).

The latest, "Ambience", was released yesterday (22 Sep 2021) which has 'that recurring sample' in it. I'd love to know where the sample originally came from or what it is called!

She has a video for the new single which will be premiered later today (17:00 GMT) which I will add when available.

Frequency [2021] - Wave 1 [God Queen] (Full EP)

Frequency is an Australian collective from Sydney which evolved out of the Frequency Live Jam sessions that occur regularly in Sydney.

They have pre-released "Sunshine" as the single from their debut EP "Wave 1" which is due for release on 1 Oct 2021.

The core members of Frequency are ALPHAMAMA, Nardean & Nicolle Lane.  In addition on this single they have guest appearances from. Nicole Issa, Tess Aboud and  JËVA.

Besides "Sunshine" the 'killer' track on the EP, for me, is "Better" which features Ange, Nicolle Lane and Zebedee Rokocakau which I think is superb! A certainty for The Dirty Dozen and first candidate for selection of the week so far!

LeGrand Whitt [2021] - Let's Keep It Real [AKM3 Entertainment] (Full Album)

LeGrand Whitt is a seasoned vocalist originally from Baltimore, MA, now residing in L.A. who has been called 'The Black Sinatra' and the 'Sinatra of Soul', a 'LeGrand' title indeed for someone still relatively unknown.

As far as I can tell he has released three singles since 2014 before his debut album "Let's Keep It Real" (released 20 Sep 2021) which includes the two latest singles "Maintenance Man" and "Game Over".

The only track that I can whole heartedly recommend from the album is "Do My Life" heavily influenced by Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues" with elements of "Save The Children". In fact the remix sounds like an even tighter and better mix, but does contain some rap.

He has quite of few more 'unreleased?' tracks on his SoundCloud page. If you wish to learn more about him there is quite a long bio here.
